Corso Italia is one of the main arteries of Genoa. It extends along a path of about 2.2 km, entirely overlooking the sea, in the residential district of Albaro; it is considered the promenade par excellence of the city. The road goes from the Foce district to the seaside village of Boccadasse.

Built in the early decades of the twentieth century, it immediately became one of the main meeting points for the Sunday stroll of the Genoese.

Corso Italia Promenade

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Corso Italia is one of the main arteries of Genoa. It extends for about 2.2 km along the Albaro district, connecting Genova Foce to the seaside village of Boccadasse, in correspondence with the church dedicated to Sant'Antonio di Padova. Entirely overlooking the sea, it is considered the "promenade" par excellence of the city. Built in the early decades of the twentieth century, it immediately became one of the main meeting points for the Sunday stroll of the Genoese.

Fort San Giuliano and elegant art deco style condominiums and buildings overlook the upstream side, while on the sea side, in addition to the historic abbey of San Giuliano, there are several bathing establishments, whose presence however does not preclude the view towards the open sea and, in the background, the promontory of Portofino.

In 1935 Corso Italia underwent a first restyling with the arrangement of elegant flower beds, palm trees and small fountains. In the fifties of the twentieth century, some fountains with colored scenic lighting were installed in the central flowerbed, but the difficulties associated with the maintenance of these water features led to their abandonment within a few years. The course underwent a complete restoration at the end of the eighties, as part of the works carried out on the occasion of the World Cup in Italy '90 and the Colombiadi in 1992. In 2022 Corso Italia was equipped with a cycle path, located between the road and sidewalk.
